Vitamin C Increases Absorption of Antioxidants from Green Tea
Combining vitamin C with green tea or its extracts improves the absorption of antioxidants found in the tea, scientists have reported in a new study.
Epidemiological studies have suggested that green tea catechins may play a role in cognitive enhancement, maintaining proper weight and lowering risk of certain cancers. However, after drinking green tea, absorption of the catechins found in green tea can vary.
Vitamin C at a dose of 30 mg in 250 mL of tea significantly increased catechin stability of EGC, EGCG, EC, and ECG to 74, 54, 82, and 45 percent.
